Nappage

enrober (de) = to coat something (with)

e.g. des amandes enrobées de sucre = almonds coated with sugar

enrobé(e) as an adjective meens coated, but also a little fat, for a person. For example, Obélix, the fat sidekick of Gaulish comic book character Astérix, likes to point out he's not gros (fat), just "enrobé"
